G D C
1. One last thing I beg you please just before you go
G D C
I've watched you fly on paper wings halfway round the world
C G D C
Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
G D C
landed somewhere far from here with no one else around
D
to catch you falling down
D C
and I'm looking at you now
G Em D
R: And I can't tell if you're laughing
G Em C
between each smile there's a tear in your eye
C G Em D
there's a train leaving town in an hour
D G Em C
it's not waiting for you, and neither am I
2. "Swing for the fences son" he must have told you once
that was a conversation you took nothing from
so raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
just put off another day of knowing where you're from
R: And I can't tell...
C G D
Is this the life that you lead?
D Em C
or the life that's lead for you?
G D Em C
will you take the road that's been laid out before you
G D C Em C
will we cross pathes somewhere else tonight? somewhere else...
R: And I can't tell...
